Half Time/Full Time – AC Milan/AC Milan
Just six days after their dismal 3-0 Super Cup defat to city rivals Inter, AC Milan were tossed around again by Lazio in a 4-0 hiding on Tuesday evening, however, with the criticism still ringing in their ears, we’re tipping the wounded Rossoneri to strike back when they host Sassuolo on Sunday. The visitors have won only one of their last 11 fixtures in the division and a more-motivated Milan should tear into them from the off this weekend. Milan’s determined to win opens up an opportunity to back them to be leading at half time and full time this weekend and our first prediction points in that direction.
Both Teams to Score – No
Sassuolo have been averaging less than one goal per game in Serie A this term, and the relegation candidates have failed to score in a lofty 50% of their their away matches in the division since August. Sassuolo have also failed to score in each of their last two meetings with AC Milan and their dire record in the final third on their travels suggests they could struggle to impact the scoresheet again on Sunday. As a result, backing both teams not to score at San Siro could fit the bill.

AC Milan vs Sassuolo Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Sunday’s Serie A showdown between AC Milan and Sampdoria below.
AC Milan
Goalkeeper Mike Maignan is out with a calf complaint, while Alessandro Florenzi is a doubt with a hamstring worry. Up front, veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still out of contention with a knee problem. AC Milan's 4-0 loss at Lazio felt like a fresh nadir for a team on the verge of a major crisis.
Predicted Lineup for AC Milan: Tatarusanu – Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Dest – Bennacer, Tonali, Messias, Diaz, Leao – Giroud
Sassuolo
Goalkeeper Andrea Consigli is still out with a muscle injury, as is attacker Andrea Pinamonti, and both players will miss out again on Sunday. Sassuolo dug out a 1-1 draw at Monza last time out, though they remain perilously close to the drop zone in 17th position.
Predicted Lineup for Sassuolo: Pegolo – Toljan, Erlic, Ferrari, Rogerio – Frattesi, Obiang – Berardi, Traore, Lauriente – Defrel
Player to Watch – Ismaël Bennacer
Ismaël Bennacer was one of the few AC Milan players to emerge with a smidgin of credit from their 4-0 reverse at Lazio in midweek and the holding midfielder was booked for his efforts in Rome. The Algerian is known for his combative qualities and he can help to lead the Rossoneri’s revival against Sassuolo on Sunday.
